Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (avoid natural, drippy varieties)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips or peanut butter chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until smooth.
- Add Peanut Butter: Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
- Chill Dough (optional but recommended): Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoon-sized balls onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
- Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers should still look soft—they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
